An online home to showcase and discuss interesting articles, interviews and other media about actors associated with all the various "Star Trek" television shows and movies. I also write on equal rights, social justice issues, INFJ-isms, film & television production, urban homesteading and whatever blows up my skirt. Figuratively speaking.
In addition, I'm working on setting up a new urban homesteading blog - stay tuned.

Josh Hutcherson - Straight But Not Narrow

I love reading various websites and blogs and trying to keep up on things, because occasionally I come across a jewel like this one, something totally unexpected. I love finding depth where I expected to find frivolity and superficiality. Take this guy as an example. Josh Hutcherson, "Peeta" of Hunger Games fame. I liked the books and the movie and I'm looking forward to the next one, Catching Fire. Normally, I follow some Jennifer Lawrence sites because she's hot and I have a little celeb crush thing going on (insert sheepish grin here). I ran into this nice article on Josh and read it because it was a slow day. Lo and behold! Depth!The article is titled "Josh Hutcherson, Straight Talker" and the subtitle is "Josh Hutcherson on fame, is gay uncles' legacy and how the best thing for his 'Hunger Games' character might be a threesome". OK, with those titles, I couldn't resist. Oh, and it's in OUT Magazine. Sweet. Here's the link:

"He (Josh) definitely doesn’t understand judgmental attitudes toward gay
people, which is why he cofounded Straight
But Not Narrow, a youth organization that focuses on arming allied kids with
the confidence and tools they need to speak out against homophobia. “Sometimes
it’s frustrating to comprehend how people are not OK with it. If you can try to
tell me how it’s hurting you, you’re crazy. You’re absolutely crazy. Like, what
do you mean it’s not natural? Even if—even
if, which, I disagree, but even if—why the fuck do you care?”

And here's the second paragraph:

"Hutcherson’s ready to pay it forward. “I have this dream that
one day, my kid’s gonna come home from school and be like, ‘Dad, there’s this
girl that I like, and there’s this guy that I like, and I don’t know which one
I like more, and I don’t know what to do.’ And it’d just be a non-issue, like,
‘Which one is a good person? Which one makes you laugh more?’ ”

OK! I like the guy. Here's the link to Straight But Not Narrow.

Every bit of ally support helps. Thank you for being rather fantastic, Josh!

About Me

I am a single mom raising a special needs child while working and trying to figure out life. Oh, and I worked on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: First Contact once upon a time (and some other shows and movies). I am a preschool teacher, voracious reader, mosaic artist, urban homesteader, a poet and a thinker. I am an unapologetic do-gooder with delusions of reality; a kitchen witch who raises children and vegetables and who wants to save the world. All of these words describe everything and nothing about me. I am a catalyst. Boldly go.
